Slide Note

The American Chemical Society has more than a dozen committees of its Council where a tremendous amount of the governance work of the ACS takes place.

The Committee on Local Section Activities, commonly known as LSAC is one of those standing committees.

It has 20 full committee members and 8 associate members, together with various staff liaisons who provide invaluable guidance to the committee.

The role of LSAC is defined in our mission statement:

[to] “work with local sections to enhance their success, to promote the well-being of their members, to foster the spirit of volunteerism, and to carry out the mission of the American Chemical Society at the professional and community level”

The roles of LSAC are quite numerous but include are covered by our self-described motto “Help Local Sections be all they want to be”.

We oversee the design and processing of the Annual Reports, and mine the accompanying data, that are to be submitted by 15th February each year,

nurture local section leaders through professional development opportunities within the ACS and

develop programs and opportunities that allow local sections to stimulate initiatives for their members
